Yes, I'm aware. I'm also aware that Oxford Nanopore now sells a $5,150 MinION pack containing the sequencer, five full flow cells, and a sequencing kit. Admittedly it's not targeted at whole human genomes, for which Oxford sells PromethION. But I'm not going to say it couldn't be done. And for much less than the [inflation adjusted] cost of my first computer. Even starting from an empty bench you're looking at $7 - $10k.
